| Guest | RC1 or RC2 iso? I have Vista RC1 installed (Build 5600) I downloaded what i think is RC2 and its file name is vista_5744.16384.061003-1945_x86fre_client-lrmcfre_en_dvd.iso which would suggest that it is indeed RC2. (build 5744) I burnt that to a DVD which has a title of LRMCFRE-EN-DVD (my RC1 dvd is called LR1CFRE-EN-DVD). However when I begin the install of the RC2 dvd, the license terms refer to Vista Release Candidate1 (tried doing both an upgrade and a clean install and I get the same license terms.) Looking inside the License folders on the disk all references are to Release Candidate 1, so my question is have I got RC1 or RC 2 and is there any way I can tell from something on the disk that I do indeed have RC2. If it is RC2 why are all the license references to RC1? |

| Guest | Re: RC1 or RC2 iso? RC-2 is Build 5744. 5744 are the first four numbers of your download so you have RC-2. I did not notice the references when I installed RC-2 but IIRC it happened with Windows XP. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org <Chas> wrote in message news:r76hi2las5t9fqfchmqdma30g5e2b84ju1@4ax.com... >I have Vista RC1 installed (Build 5600) > > I downloaded what i think is RC2 and its file name is > vista_5744.16384.061003-1945_x86fre_client-lrmcfre_en_dvd.iso which > would suggest that it is indeed RC2.

Yes I realise that but was confused by the License referring to RC1. Is there anywhere within the installed operating system itself that refers to Beta2/RC1/RC2 or is it just the build number which appears on the desktop which tells you the status of the installed system? |

| Guest | Re: RC1 or RC2 iso? The build number on the Desktop is the easy one. Also Start/Run Type "winver" ENTER Will also give the build #. I am not aware of RC-1 or RC-2 appearing anywhere. -- Jupiter Jones [MVP] http://www3.telus.net/dandemar http://www.dts-l.org <Chas> wrote in message news:hv7hi2tj00l3redh6e6pphq0j6j83s80ut@4ax.com... > On Sun, 8 Oct 2006 00:46:04 -0600, "Jupiter Jones [MVP]" > Yes I realise that but was confused by the License referring to RC1. > > Is there anywhere within the installed operating system itself that > refers to Beta2/RC1/RC2 or is it just the build number which appears > on the desktop which tells you the status of the installed system? |

| Guest | RE: RC1 or RC2 iso? I understand what you mean. Even though it is RC2, the liscense still says RC1. No biggie, someone just forgot the change the number, or used the "copy/paste" method for the liscense. What impresses me more is that someone actually takes the time to read the liscense. I usually just click "I agree" and move on. But hey, great catch!

Thats a bit of a worry that a company such as Microsoft would overlook something so fundamental. Wonder what else was 'forgotten",,,,,,,,,, |
